What is the average lifespan of a building?

Office building lifespan, median 73 years. Source: 2008 Buildings Energy Data Book, Buildings Technologies Program, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of Energy, page 3-12.


How does insulating buildings help to preserve energy resources?

Insulation allows buildings to retain heat or to reduce the heat coming into the building. This helps to preserve energy resources by reducing the amount of energy needed to heat or cool the building.


What is the Difference between active filters and passive filters?

Active transducers are those which require electric current (a source of energy) for working, while passive transducers are those which does not need an external source. Passive transducers directly produce electric signals without an external energy source.


How is passive and active solar heating systems different from one another?

a passive solar system converts sunlight into thermal energy without using pumps or fans and active solar system captures the suns energy then uses fans and pumps to distribute the heat


Why should you choose MEP for the energy conservation building design service?

A building’s area and surroundings play a pivotal role in controlling its temperature and lighting. For instance, landscapes, trees, and hills can provide shade and block the wind.In colder climates, houses with south-facing windows and southern region buildings with north-facing windows improves the amount of sun (ultimately heat energy) entering the building, reducing energy use, by maximizing passive solar heating.that it can be energy-efficient for building design.

What is the definition of passive solar heating?

Glass windows provide passive solar heating for buildings. Sunlight passes through the glass and is absorbed by surfaces in the building. It is transferred into heat energy, which is emitted as infrared radiation. This is reflected back into the building by the glass.
